"On the entertainment feed, this is what they call an 'oh shit' moment."

Ann Leckie is right, I love Murderbot! All Systems Red is the hilarious and surprisingly heart-felt combination of a Security Unit that hates it's job, some crunchy granola research scientists, and a Capitalistic hellscape that resolves into intrigue, corporate espionage, and questions of personhood. 

My biggest complaint for the Murderbot Diaries is the price—so try to catch it on sale or second-hand if you can!
